The Internet provides us with a great chance to learn and communicate, if we
choose to.

What we say (or don't say) can bring the ugly and dark sides of others (and
of
ourselves).

Or we can bring the beautiful and bright sides of others and ourselves.

I wonder if any research has been done on how well those who are often
arguing
and self-righteous on the internet get along with people in real life.

Perhaps the Internet can change our lives, and we learn to get along better
with
the living, and be truly friendly and helpful with people we have not even
met on a
global scale (on the internet, at least).

I know this is a Pali website: but let's remember what Pali is really about.

Major roots of suffering: language and grammar.
